Neither easy nor difficult to read. Transcribed from the 1912 Chatto & Windus edition by David Price "The Pocket George Borrow: Passages Chosen from the Works of George Borrow" by Edward Thomas is a curated anthology of writings from George Borrow, likely compiled in the early 20th century. This collection surfaces selections from Borrow’s diverse works, offering insights into themes related to Romani culture, the author's travels, and his unique observations of life and language, particularly as they pertain to the Gypsies of England and Spain. The opening of the anthology sets the tone for Borrow's literary craftsmanship, reflecting on his fascination with Romani life and culture. It introduces the concept of "patterans," a system of trails used by Gypsies, which serves as a metaphor for Borrow's exploration of his subjects. The passages depict lively dialogues between characters, highlighting the humor and poignancy in interviews with both Gypsies and gorgios (non-Gypsies). Through vivid imagery, Borrow paints a colorful picture of the cultural interactions he observed, infusing his narrative with a mix of curiosity, critique, and admiration for the Romani people, capturing the essence of a life that straddles both adventure and social commentary.
